Fret - See exactly which notes to play, live on the fretboard

Most guitar learning keeps theory separate from the instrument. Fret puts it back on the neck. Pick a lesson → a backing loop starts → every scale-safe note lights up on the fretboard. Mic input detects when you hit them. Earn stars by landing on strong chord tones. Also has a free scale explorer: choose any scale in any key, see it mapped across the full neck, and let the mic match your playing to the closest scale in real time. Free. No download. Works in any browser.

I built Fret because every guitar learning tool I tried had the same problem: the theory lives in a diagram, but your guitar is in your hands. You look at a scale chart, look back at the fretboard, and the connection doesn't stick. Fret keeps the note guidance on the neck itself while a loop plays. You see what to play, hear it in context, and your mic tells you when you hit it. That feedback loop — visual + audio + kinesthetic — is what actually makes scales stick. Started as a fretboard visualizer, grew into 20 guided lessons covering pentatonic through Dorian, Mixolydian, and advanced blues. Still free, still browser-only, no account required to start. Would love feedback from anyone learning lead guitar or trying to get past the "I only know one scale position" wall.
